CONTENTSGovHack is an international competition for people of all abilities who seek to make life better through open data.
Across one weekend, thousands come together to form teams, agree projects, and participate in what has become one of the world’s biggest open data competitions. In 2017 we had:
� Over 3000 people
� 430 projects
� 36 locations across Australia and New Zealand
GovHack teams get to participate in a movement that helps build trust between government, industry and citizens to improve communities by unlocking the power and potential of open data.
Many federal and state government agencies and departments have already expressed early interest in partnering with GovHack in 2018, so read on!
Why does GovHack matter?
Formed with the objective to raise the profile of open government data, GovHack has since evolved to encompass the following objectives;
� To provide an opportunity through open data for government, citizens and industry to collaborate, gain knowledge and develop new skills;
� To showcase open data as a mechanism for identifying and solving deep-rooted social, economic and environmental challenges;
� To impress upon Government the economic and societal value of quality, machine-readable, standardised open data;
� To highlight the increasing value of open data as a tool to promote transparency, strengthen democracy, and develop trust.
WHAT IS GOVHACK?
GovHack encourages government agencies to release and refresh data
and make it easier to understand. The results
drive home the importance of making more data
available for public use.

Sponsoring a state/territory award aligns government agencies with a respected community event which has established strong ties to Australian developer communities, government organisations at all levels across the country, and the technology and communications industries.
GovHack provides government with the ability to directly engage with a passionate hacker community to find creative and innovative mashups to defined (or not so defined) problems.
Our passionate and creative hackers showcase the potential of open data to help solve the challenges facing government and its citizens.
GovHack is a proud member and passionate advocate of the Open Data and Open Source Communities.
GovHack is only made possible with the contribution of countless passionate volunteers all across Australia. Our team of organisers is passionately dedicated to GovHack and look forward to working with you to continue its relevance in our quest.
Who comes to GovHack?
Participants bring a diverse range of skills such as designing, developing, programming, storyboarding, marketing, visualisation and analysis to the event to produce and present a ‘proof of concept’ during the main two days of the event.
Not all participants are super technical, but they are all creative, passionate and full of ideas.
In addition to participants, there are several other attendees designed to help particpants and create an awesome GovHack everpence.
Data Mentors, who are custodians of government datasets, attend to assist participants in accessing and using the data.
Technology Mentors are provided government and corporate sponsors to assist participants in understanding and using their software platforms and technology in developing their open data concepts.
Local Event Teams, lead by an Event Host, are the volunteers tasked to keep the event running smoothly. They manage all aspects of the event including facilities, catering and logistics to make the weekend a creative success.

During the year GovHack runs four events; GovHack Connections (to get to know your sponsors and their data), GovHack Competition Weekend Events, State & Territory Awards events and the GovHack National Red Carpet Awards.
GovHack Connections Events (August)
GovHack Connections events are held prior to the GovHack Competition Event. They are run in each State and Territory that has a GovHack competition event.
GovHack Connections gives agencies the opportunity toshowcase and discuss your datasets to potential GovHack competitors. This is a terrific way for competitors to gain a greater understanding and awareness of your selected datasets, allowing them to interact directly with your data experts.
GovHack Competition Weekend Events (September)
The GovHack Competition Event is a two-day hack event held simultaneously around Australia to create concepts, mashups and models with open government data, to examine the challenges facing government and communities in new and innovative ways.
At the end of the weekend teams submit their project including a project video, their open data story and project page for government agencies to judge.
The GovHack competition will run from 7pm Friday 7th to Sunday 9th September.
GovHack State & Territory Awards (October)
The GovHack State & Territory Awards take place during October after the GovHack competition weekend and award the very best projects from the GovHack State/Territory Competition. The winning GovHack teams are presented with their State/Territory awards at the event.
GovHack National Red Carpet Awards (November)
The Red Carpet Awards event is the pinnacle night that showcases and celebrates the creativity and ingenuity of Australia’s most talented teams.
Projects from across Australia that have entered in the national competition are eligible. The GovHack National Red Carpet Awards event is held in a different Australian city each year, for 2016 this was Adelaide, South Australia and in 2017 was Brisbane, Queensland.
Selected GovHack finalists receive a Golden Ticket which includes flights, accommodation and their ticket to the Awards.
The Red Carpet Awards will be held in November, will it be in your City?
2018 EVENTSThere are actually two competitions!
National Competition
All participants can compete for the national competition. National sponsors help direct the design of the national competion by ensuring relevancy to citizens and current government challenges in your area. This provides a real opportunity for sponsors to garner a lot of interest in their data.
State & Territory Competition
Each state and territory has its own competion that focuses on regional challenges and/or specific state/territory datasets or themes.
Some of the planned award categories include:
� Data Journalism
� Digital Inclusiveness
� Regional Communities
� ‘Not an App’
� Transactional
� API Enabled
� Civic Integrity
� Feed the Nation
� Community Health
� Smart Communities
� Safe & Secure
Both National and State/Territory prize categories are announced after the opening ceremony on Friday night of the competion weekend and participants are eligible to compete for awards in both the national and the state/territory competitions.
In 46 hours, teams create, a proof of concept and a video that tells the story of how data can be reused, often finding new ways to solve challenges facing government.
GovHack will provide you with the shortlist of entries and full listing for your award category to independently judge the entries. The awards will then be presented by sponsors at the State/Territory Awards event in mid October.
Awards consist of cash prizes per team up to the value of $1000 for first place.
THE CATEGORIES ARE THE COMPETITION

The 2018 National Red Carpet Awards will be held approx ten weeks after the GovHack competition weekend and will showcase the outcomes and winners from the GovHack national competition entries.
National GovHack sponsors will be invited to attend the Red Carpet Awards event, meet their finalist teams, and then present the award to their winning team(s).
This is a showcase event in the national innovation calendar, providing an opportunity to mix with senior public officials, national finalists and our volunteers.
NATIONAL RED CARPET AWARDS

Sponsorship of GovHack aligns your organisation with Australia’s Premier Hackathon and one of the largest and most influential hackathons in the world.
Why is GovHack so good?
Because it is supported by the most amazing volunteers and civic hackers, and we put our community first. By focusing on the best possible experience for participants, year on year, we enable creative and innovative projects tackling and identifying open data concepts and models to current and future challenges facing governments, society and the individual.
We foster collaboration with other organisations and hackathons to assist in the longevity of great projects to enable civic minded community growth in the Australian region.
GovHack at its core is about enabling government to partner with the broader community to showcase and celebrate participatory innovation and co-creation.
All sponsors have the option to invite any GovHack team to submit formal quotes to undertake further work on the project they started during GovHack.
SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS
In 2018 there will again be several official sponsorship opportunities for State, Territory and Local government agencies and businesses across your Region to select from:
� State / Territory Sponsorship - various levels
� Event Partner
We do welcome some in-kind sponsorships, depending on the necessities, but our focus is to ensure we provide a fully inclusive, fully funded free attendance at the local, state/territory and national events by covering all costs for all participants, as well as providing cash awards to the winning events.
SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES

State / Territory sponsorship helps to provide all participants in your state or territory an immersive experience, including the opportunity to attend the GovHack Connections event and Regional Awards event, with region-wide prizes and exposure.
Each state and territory will have its own State / Territory Awards Event which brings together all finalists in the region to celebrate their creativity and ingenuity, and where sponsors get to present the winning entries with their GovHack awards for excellence.
This means your sponsorship will reach a greater audience and provide more opportunities to connect with even more state and territory based talent.
Your sponsorship will also directly assist selected National Competition finalists in your region. Selected finalists will represent their region and team, they will be flown interstate and provided with accommodation for the GovHack National Red Carpet Awards to be held in November 2018.
State / Territory Government Agencies and large corporate organisations typically select this level of sponsorship.
There are 2 options available:
STATE / TERRITORY SPONSORSHIP

Award Naming Rights Sponsor (exclusive to 1 per State / Territory) - POAThis sponsor will have naming rights to their State / Territory Awards Event which brings together all State / Territory finalists for an evening to celebrate their creativity and ingenuity. Winning participants will be presented with their State / Territory awards for their winning entries.
